In the material world, it is physically impossible to make a point that reaches all the way to infinity. “The form of the sculpture is created from two converging hyperbolic curves that get closer and closer but never meet. We call it art.” explained artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. Nonetheless, ever since its birth, the human race has persisted in seeing this illusion.
The point of infinity is a paradox, but should it exist in the natural world, it must be in a faraway place beyond the edge of the universe, or maybe it is no more than an illusion born inside the human brain. “The concept of infinity is a human invention. This artwork marks Sugimoto’s first large scale public sculpture to be installed in the United States and the first of many public commissions that will be presented as part of the Treasure Island Arts Program.
The sculpture, titled Point of Infinity, will be placed on top of Yerba Buena Island in summer 2023. SAN FRANCISCO, Ma– The San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC), in partnership with the Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA), are pleased to announce the upcoming installation of the first permanent sculpture commissioned for the Treasure Island Arts Program by internationally renowned artist, Hiroshi Sugimoto.
